The Holy Martyress
Julitta lived at Caesarea Cappadocia during the reign of the emperor
Diocletian (284-305). A certain pagan pilfered all her property, and when
Julitta turned for relief to the courts, her antagonist reported to the judge
that she was a Christian. the judge demanded the saint to renounce Christ, for
which he promised to restore justice and return to her the unlawfully taken
property. Saint Julitta resolutely refused the deceitful conditions, and for
this she was burnt in a bon-fire in the year 304 (or 305). Sainted Basil the
Great devoted his Praiseworthy Discourse to Saint Julitta 70 years after her
death as a martyr.
